Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. The definitive biography of a Civil War scoundrel and streetwise politico Largely forgotten by historians, Billy Wilson (1822-1874) was a giant in his time, a man well known throughout New York City, a man shaped by the city's immigrant culture, its harsh voting practices, and its efforts to… participate in the War for the Union. For decades, Wilson's name made headlines-for many different reasons-in the city's major newspapers.An immigrant who settled in New York in 1842, Wilson found work as a prizefighter, a shoulder hitter, an immigrant runner, and a pawnbroker, before finally entering politics and being elected an alderman. He harnessed his tough persona to good advantage, in 1861 becoming a colonel in command of a regiment of alleged toughs and ex-convicts known as the "Wilson Zouaves." A poor disciplinarian, however, Wilson exercised little control over his soldiers, and in 1863, unable to maintain order, he was jailed for a number of weeks. Nonetheless, Wilson returned home to a hero's welcome that year.Wilson left behind no personal papers, journals, or correspondences, so Robert E. Cray has masterfully woven together a record of Wilson's life using the only available records: newspaper stories. These accounts present Wilson as a fascinating but highly unlikable man. As Cray demonstrates, Wilson bullied his way into New York, bullied his way into fame and politics, and attempted to bully his way into military greatness. His story depicts the New York City and Civil War experience in bolder, darker hues. As Cray shows us, it was not always a pretty tale. Largely forgotten by historians, Billy Wilson (1822-1874) was a giant in his time, a man well known throughout New York City, a man shaped by the city's immigrant culture, its harsh voting practices, and its efforts to participate in the War for the Union. This is the definitive biography of a Civil War scoundrel and streetwise politico. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. How journalism, religious ambition, and urban life converged to shape one of nineteenth-century New York's most public moral dramas.In The Wickedest Man in New York, Robert E. Cray revisits one of the most arresting episodes in nineteenth-century Manhattan: the brief season when a Water Stre…et dancehall became the unlikely stage for a public religious drama. In 1868, journalist Oliver Dyer published a sensational profile of John Allen, a dancehall proprietor whose establishment was infamous for liquor, music, and the labor of the sex workers who lived there. Dyer's portrait of Allen as "the wickedest man in New York" gripped the city and pulled thousands of curious onlookers toward the Fourth Ward, a waterfront district long associated with poverty, sex work, and the tensions of a changing metropolis.As evangelicals from the Howard Mission entered Allen's worldhoping to reform the neighborhood, cultivate converts, and elevate their own ministryreporters chronicled every turn. Prayer meetings unfolded where sailors once crowded the floor. Critics questioned motives. Supporters heralded moral transformation. New Yorkers asked whether a revival was truly taking place or whether they were witnessing a carefully managed spectacle shaped as much by publicity as by faith. Cray brings this volatile moment into sharp focus, revealing how Protestant evangelicals, urban journalists, and neighborhood residents navigated overlapping ambitions in a city alive with religious competition and cultural display.Through careful attention to Water Street's social landscapeincluding its Irish Catholic families, its laboring men, and the women whose lives were most exposed to public scrutinyCray shows how personalities like Allen and Dyer became symbols of broader struggles over morality, reform, and the power of the press. The Wickedest Man in New York illuminates the forces that shaped urban religion in the early Gilded Age, offering a compelling portrait of a city captivated by sin, salvation, and sensational newsmaking.
